The Pittsburgh Steelers rival improved their defense with the signing of a top defensive back
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens have enjoyed one of the NFL's most intense and entertaining rivalries over the years. One of the most heated aspects of it is each team's defense.
A Ravens-type move: Two-time Pro-Bowl safety Eddie Jackson reached agreement today with Baltimore on a one-year deal, per sources. A safety with six defensive TDs for the Bears now will bring his talents to Baltimore.Jackson brings a huge boost to the Ravens' secondary. Originally selected by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Jackson vastly outplayed his draft selection placement. With the Bears, he became an All-Pro safety and one of the best at his position.
